[QUOTE="Schmoe, post: 4162958, member: 913"] Gnolls played a large role in my last campaign. I portrayed them as utterly savage packs of roving killers and reavers who roamed the uncivilized wastes of the world. The females generally remained in fairly stable establishments which were, essentially, breeding camps. The males roamed about unleashing their violence on everything the came across, including other gnoll packs. They worshipped death and decay, and frequently had corrupt shamanistic leaders who incited them to further depravity. The ranger preference reflected their ability to ambush prey and their devotion to inflicting pain and punishment (favored enemy). Their worship of death was displayed in the many grisly totems and trophies that they carried with them and that they left behind where they had been. A traveler in the most remote wastes might come across a dead tree decorated with skulls and scraps of flesh, and he would know that gnolls had been there. The savagery of gnolls meant that they did not enter into diplomacy with other races, and would only serve others if subjugated under the most severe brutality. The more "civilized" packs of gnolls established temples devoted to the worship of unholy powers, but these were rare. [/QUOTE]
